Dorothy was born May 1, 1929, in Woodruff, W.Va., the daughter of the late Fred and Blanche (Fahnert) Weimer. She was an employee of Royal China and loved working crossword puzzles, cooking, listening to country music and going to Mountaineer. But she most enjoyed spending time with her family and grandchildren. Dorothy was also known for always making sure no one left her home without a full belly.

Survivors include her son, James (Sue) Blake of North Benton; and two daughters, Sheila Nezbeth of Alliance and Debbie (David) Brickner of Sebring. She is also survived by six grandchildren, David, Dustin, Mike, Keven, Kelly and Kristy; 11 great-grandchildren, Bryce, Mason, Remington, Jack, Maggie, Eva, Wyatt, Logan, Liam, Blake and Korry; a brother, Jack (Bobbi) Anderson of Moundsville, W.Va.; and a sister, Sharon Anderson of Cameron, W.Va.

Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Warnard Blake; four brothers, Gary "Tina" Anderson, Frank Anderson, Don Weimer and Daryl Weimer; and a sister, Donna Knowlton.

A private funeral service will take place Monday at Gednetz-Ruzek Funeral Home. Burial will take place in Highland Memorial Park.
